Hundreds of cases of swine flu have been reported in Mexico, and around 50 cases exist in the United States, according to CNN. Swine flu can go from exposure to infection within one to four days, so prevention is the key to battling such a fast-acting virus.
Dr. Bob Arnot, Pandemic Expert, Offers Advice On Swine Flu
Doctor Bob Arnot, author of Your Survival, has researched and written extensively on the subject of pandemics. Recently interviewed on Larry King Live and Geraldo at Large as an expert on this topic, Dr. Arnot has given the five best ways to deter the swine flu contagion:
-It seems obvious, but it’s very important to actually carry out: wash your hands.
-Cover your mouth with a tissue or handkerchief when you cough.
-Use Tamiflu or Relenza within 24 hours of contracting swine flu. If you are in the healthcare field and treating others who may have swine flu, you may take it as a preventative medicine.
-Track your symptoms.
-Most importantly, call your doctor as soon as a high fever hits.
